[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 100659, member: 35"] Tejwant ji I believe that pk70 ji himself said that he had only recently become aware of cosmotheism and was still looking for more internet links. He also writes with the same skepticism as do you and I. On the first level, the landing page, of the web site we can read language that echos the principles of pantheism very closely. But that is easy enough to concoct. You or I could easily start a spiritual movement and clone the pantheistic phrases and turn them to our advantage in promoting our new groups. That is what I think is going on. Today many bright people who are turned off by organized religion seek out alternative experiences and are "burned" by them. They then go searching for some kind of spiritual path to meet a spiritual need that went unfulfilled by religion in one form or another. Pantheism appeals to them because it speaks to the spiritual dimension within but does it a way that is personally empowering. The idea that the God within makes oneself a God of sorts is very appealing. Cosmotheism also does not require an extensive system of rituals and practices. So some will be attracted by the appearance of an open-ended philosophical movement that appeals to their intellect, not realizing that unlike pantheism in practice, they will give up that very intellectual independence that they prize. The cult-like nature of Cosmotheism, as one looks at the lower level web pages from the site, occurs to me from these patterns. There is a founder who has developed a system of required readings. You cannot go any further until you have read them. There is a pledge of belief of sorts. Most of the web pages that can be accessed are very scant in terms of information. So it leaves an interested party with only one choice -- make a pledge, do the readings, then delve into the deeper levels of the web site without knowing what one is really delving into. Now contrast that with [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/guru-nanak-dev/"]Guru Nanak[/URL] and Sikhism as it has unfolded. [URL="http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/guru-nanak-dev/"]Guru Nanak[/URL] professed no "formal" persona as the founder of a transformational belief system. He was and is always available to anyone and everyone, and as Sikhism unfolded, nothing was a secret and nothing was exclusive. The bani were and are open for anyone to embrace. There are no required readings in order to get started on your journey, yet Sikhism's adherents want and chose to read and meditate upon the Shabad Guru. No one was or is excluded by race, creed or caste. The dharma of Sikhism at every level embraces a simple idea of seva to Guruji and to humanity. One form of seva is the image of the other. Serve Waheguru and you serve humanity. Serve humanity and you serve Guruji. All the "pruning" is done by Guruji, and more often than "pruning" what we see is "churning." That is all I can say for now. [/QUOTE]
